  [clang-format] Google Style: disable DerivePointerAlignment. (#149602)

The [Google C++ Style
Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Pointer_and_Reference_Expressions)
is being changed to specify that spaces should go after the
asterisk/ampersand, rather than permitting either before or after on a
file-by-file basis.

The new requirement is:
> When referring to a pointer or reference (variable declarations or
> definitions, arguments, return types, template parameters, etc.),
> you must not place a space before the asterisk/ampersand. Use a
> space to separate the type from the declared name (if present).

The [Google ObjC
style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/objcguide.html) is silent on
this matter, but the de-facto style is not being modified at this time.
So, keep DerivePointerAlignment enabled for ObjC language mode.
